15 Questions
What is the overarching goal of rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury?
To achieve maximum independence and functional mobility
What does 'compensation' refer to in the context of rehabilitation?
Using alternative movement strategies or technology to compensate for neuromuscular deficits
What is the difference between 'compensation' and 'recovery of function'?
Compensation relies on new movement strategies, while recovery of function restores pre-injury movement patterns
